刑期折抵的理论定位

在现代刑法中,刑期折抵不只是一个法律规定,而且是一种现代法律制度。这种法律制度,相对于所处法律关系的不同,可有不同的理论定位。其中,从羁押折抵刑期的本质来看,其立法设置旨在救济未决羁押之正当性瑕疵,是刑事实体救济制度;从罪刑关系运行所处时间阶段来看,其司法适用需要审判裁量,是刑罚裁量制度;从适用的法律后果来看,其司法适用导致刑罚执行权的部分甚至全部消灭,是刑罚消灭制度。

Theoretic Analysis of Subtraction of Term of Penalty

In modern criminal law,subtraction of term of penalty is not only a provision,but a legal regime that can be analyzed in different logic way in accordance with its different legal relations.In essence,the provision that custody period shall be subtracted from the term of imprisonment tends to justify the detention of untried defenders,which can be deemed a sort of regime of substantial criminal remedies.In terms of the period from commitment of a crime to sentence,it is up to a punishment measurement regime that decides how subtraction is made.In terms of the consequence,application of the subtraction may result in remitting part or even all of the punishment,which may be deemed a punishment-annihilation regime.
